#### Scaling the Model by a Factor

Scale Drawing dialog box

Scaling a drawing alters the part's image in the Graphic Display window. This option does not alter the CAD data in any way. The Scale Drawing option is not available from the menu bar, and it only functions when Planner is in Translate Mode.

To use this option:

1. Click the Translate mode icon from the Graphics Modes toolbar. For more information on the screen modes, see "Changing Screen Modes".

2. Press Shift and right-click to open the Scale Drawing dialog box.

3. Type the X, Y, Z part coordinates to display in the center of the screen.

4. Type the desired value for the Scaling factor. This is an actual scale factor, not a relative scale factor.

A scale factor of 0.5 will reduce to scale to half the actual size of the part. A scale factor of 2.0 will increase the scale to twice the actual size of the part. A scale factor of 1.0 will result in the actual life size scale.

You can also scale the graphical image within the Graphic Display window by right-clicking above or below an imaginary horizontal line that splits the Graphic Display window.
